Whats your favorite old school Mac Game?

[spike]

Well? I'd have to say Prince of Persia(the orig) and vette was pretty cool also...

[Brain]

dark castle, baby


let the rock throwing commence!

[tasty]

Oh man what a great thread. I agree with all of brain and spike's choices, in addition to glider and crystal quest. It is tough to beat dark castle though.

[Toxic::Joka]

Heart of China, never got longer than Shanghai tough.

And all of those "use item" "pick up" "talk to" etc... "role playing games"

[BTs_Lee.Harvey]

Oregon Trail... yea it was a learing program.. but it was addictive and the only game we could play in school!!!

[Ace]

Word to Oregon Trail. That's definitely old school. Escape Velocity is of course a classic as well.

[Mr.Mellow]

Castles: Siege and Conquest. God I loved that game. Dino Park Tychoon was pretty happenin' too. Ooh, and The Taskmaker. That was a fun rpg kinda game. My favorite so far is Escape Velocity, though. I would play that game for hours and hours and hours. Good times.

[kami]

PoP and Dark Castle, of course, also Out of this World/Another World is another classic.
Not to forget the EV series, I remember when I first got that game on couple of floppy disks. All those old RPG's too. Vette was kind of lame though, never really liked that.

[Overthrow.aHa!]

Barrack and the Marathon series.

[Mr. Lothario]

     Castles: Siege and Conquest holds a special place in my heart. That was the first game that I ever figured out the AI in, so I could win under any conditions. Plus, having a line of like twenty archers, stacking them all on top of each other, then watching The World's Most Powerful Arrow take down a knight in one shot was a beautiful thing.

     Maelstrom, EV, Spaceward Ho!, Apeiron, Rescue!, Quest for Glory 1, Simcity 2000, The Ancient Art of War, Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max Hit the Road...

     But the winner has to be Marathon 2. That game took up way more of my time than any of these others. Physics Model modding was fun as hell. : )

MacRisk and the Appleserve StarTrek MP.

[Brain]

heh, i remember the first EV. i played that game WAAAY to long
in fact the entire galaxy was my bitch. that's right i managed to dominate every single planet in my tricked out rebel cruiser (thank god for the maximum ship limit bug )

[Supernatural Pie]

Lemmings, Prince of Persia, and Hellcats

[|MP|Buccaneer]

Ancient Art of War at Sea has to be the win.  Oregon Trail shouldn't count because it was a mainframe game (like trek) out a good 10 years before the mac (and Apple 2 before the Mac as well).  

Crystal Quest was the first game we ever modified.  We changed all the sounds in the game.  

Other games we played on the old SE were Hunt for Red October, Falcon (used to hook up all the Mac2's up in the computer lab with printer cables to get some cool LAN dogfighting in).  We had Prince of Persia and Dark Castle too.  But nothing beat the hours you could spend with Ancient Art of War at Sea.  It was the first game I can remember with a world editor.  

BTW, what is considered "old school"?  I would consider it anything that ran back before PPC myself.  Not games that you can still run today.  Games that were out with System 6 and 7.

I would agree with the System 6/7 era. Also, anything that came in a fat binary is definitely old school. That was definitely the high point of the era of classic Mac gaming.

Damn I can't believe no one has mentioned Chuck Yeager's Air Combat.  That game was the most bad ass fligt sim ever, I also recently heard it was posssible to play this game multiplayer which makes me wish I still had it.  The orignal Wolfenstein 3D was also an awesome game, but the thing i didnt like a bout it is I beat all 150 some odd levels, killed countless nazi's, zombies, german sheppards, Dr's, and even hitler in his cyborg suit, and all I got was a lousy "game over" message.  Other good games were sim ant, sim tower, sim city 2000, and syndicate.  But Chuck Yeagers Air Combat was by far my favorite.

[Mr. Lothario]

     I totally forgot about CYAC, which is weird because Alaric, Bucc, and I were just talking about it the other day on NF. I used to take a MiG-15 and fly against 15 Yak-9s (Yak-10s? I can't remember the number). The Yaks were tough as nails and their bullets hurt, so it was a real challenge even if I was in a jet. Plus, the box replays of those matches were damn cool. : D

[Cossack]

Well back in the days when I didnt know a word of English (I was living in New York City) I would go over to my freinds house and play two great games. I would play Harpoon and the ever addictive TiE Fighter. Of coarse since I wasnt playing any computer in Russia, your old school games are probablly more old school than mine.

[Jackal.aHa!]

Ok heres one...

F18 Flight Hornet..PLAYING WITHOUT A JOYSTICK...fucking insane.

Sam and Max Hit the Road, Dark Forces, Indiana Jones, Full Throttle..hmm Oragon Trial..and those board games made into mac games..like Stalingrad...very boring..but cool

[*NADS Lo$eMoney]

I personally preffered the WW2 planes.  My favorite was the p51 mustang.  And for the last kill I would always fly my plane into the enemy and bail right before the 2 planes would collide.  It was also fun using the vietnam era jets and pitting them against the shitty old propeller fighters.
